Product Market Research

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This market-research skill is mostly coherent, but its optional tracking mode would create a persistent cron job without enough scoping or removal guidance.

The one-time research workflow looks reasonable. Before using continuous tracking, require the agent to show the exact schedule, command, sources, output destination, end date, and removal command, and avoid approving a cron job unless you want background recurring searches.

Finding
The skill introduces a persistent cron-based monitoring feature even though the core purpose is one-shot market research. This expands the skill from an on-demand information retrieval tool into a recurring automation capability, which can create unexpected background activity, repeated external requests, and potential privacy or consent issues if enabled without explicit, granular user approval.
